To break up large pieces of resin for burning -

When you order raw incense resins there are likely to be large chunks that are too big to place on the heater or charcoal. These can be easily broken up into pieces the desired size by:

- If resins or incense material is soft or sticky it can be placed in the freezer over night, this makes it very brittle, this method is also used to create powdered resins for blends

- Place resin chunks or tears into a freezer weight baggy

- Place baggy on the floor or hard surface with a newspaper under it

- Strike firmly with a mallet or hammer until the consistency is what you want

- Be sure to store all incense out of direct sunlight and in an airtight container, this will lengthen the fragrance life of the incense
